Ask Belle: Cap-Sleeve Maxi Dresses for Summer

Mar 30, 2015

Hi Belle,

I love the look of maxi dresses but am looking for some with cap sleeves. Any suggestions?

-CK

I love a maxi dress.  I can’t wait for summer so I can wear them.  They’re so comfortable, and yet chic at the same time. Cap sleeves aren’t as popular as short sleeves, but I found a few that are worth a look.

Charlotte Russe Cut-Out Maxi Dress ($30)

This dress has a criss-cross open back that’s kind of fun, but the straps are wide enough that you can probably wear a bra.  That’s helpful.

I own this dress in navy.  The side slits keep it comfortable even in the summer heat.

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
